Dendrochronological Analysis of Endangered Newfoundland Pine Marten Habitat: Decay Classification of Coarse Woody Debris in Western Newfoundland By
The maintenance of species and landscape biodiversity is a critical factor in sustainable forest management. The main objective of this study was to understand more about one component of the forest structure that is crucial to the survival of the endangered Newfoundland pine marten. I studied dead...
